Pages

I have wanted to scrap a favourite photo of my home for a while now...but I wanted it to be the star on the page so I printed it A5 size. I used mostly papers and embellishments from the March 2017 kit...but I also used some pretty embellishments that came in Hip Kits going back to October 2016. I love how easily these kits mix and match. I wanted to keep the colour palette that my home is decorated in and just love how soft this page is. I also used a super large title and used thickers that came in a number of different kits.

I just love it when I find the perfect embellishment to go on a page like this little die cut that says "love lives here". You can see that I stitched around the Dear Lizzy Lovely Day paper with the houses on. The heart is a Pink Fresh Studio mirror sticker.

This alpha has gorgeous gold flecks. The x♥x♥ rubber charm is also by Pink Fresh Studio and the heart veneer is by We'R Memory Keepers.

I layered the house die cut behind the photo with the house mirror sticker overlapping it.

The wood veneer house was also by We'R Memory Keepers Honey I'm home and I layered the die cut one behind the photo with the wood veneer house overlapping the photo.

I really adore this long title. I just outlined around the white puffy alpha so that it can be better seen against the patterned paper.

Here you can see the pretty shiny bits...love it♥~

Thank you for visiting my blog...I do hope that you found some inspiration here.

Hi there. I scrapped another page of Kobus and I taken during the photo shoot we had in February with our grandchildren. I wanted to document our love story and I was thrilled at I could use chipboard pieces that I would normally not use. There were two Maggie Holmes (Chasing Dreams) chipboard pieces of books...and it is perfect for the "story".

Hi there, I came across some lovely sketches on Creative Scrappers and decided to use the August 2017 sketch to scrap a photo of Stefan. I combined the September and October 2017 Hip Kits because they just work together perfectly. Here is my page:

Hallo there. I am sharing a page that I created this past weekend. The photos were taken on Wyn and's small holding in May when the family got together for Nadia's birthday. The cousins always adore spending time together...and as usual they played the fool every time I tried to capture some photos of them...so this stage will also be documented. Here is my page:

Hi there. I am playing along with one of the sketch challenges on the Hip Kit forum. This week the sketch is by Laureen Wagner and the focus is on a large photo. At the same time I noticed that Paige Evans have just launched her latest collection...and it is beautiful. She is having a give away if a layout using one of her collections are shared on her Facebook page. I am embarrassed to tell you that I have many, many older photos that I haven't scrapped yet. I ended up printing out an A4 photo taken at Hole-in-the-Wall on the Wild Coast in February 2015. Here is my page.

I stitched around the edges of my photo...my serious addiction. The flags was cut from the left over patterned paper that backs the cut file. Love this paper ♥. I then layered the chipboard "whole lotta lovely over it and added the rose gold sunglasses and the puffy scallop sticker.

I used this title from the Crate Paper Oasis collection.

My journaling was placed on the photo as there is a lot of space.

I have noticed a lot of tone on tone embellishing...so I tried my hand on it...where I didn't have a corresponding chipboard flower I used some of the blue ones.

A little chipboard bird added t the top of the flower.

I then carried on with the tone on tone embellishing with tiny puffy flowers, chipboard shapes and enamel dots.

I might just do my embellishing this way more often. The cut file was popped up on foam squares...I like the shadow it creates under the hibiscus flowers.

Hallo there, I am sharing a page I made this last weekend. I am playing along with the Stuck 1 August sketch and using my June Hip Kit. I just love to scrap those random moments that are unplanned. We were visiting Nadia on their plot when Kobus captured this photo of Stefan and Nina...it is such a sweet photo.

There is no yellow in my patterned papers and because I wanted to bring it in on my title, I stenciled some yellow ink onto my white background paper to tie it all in. The yellow heart die cut and dog rubber charm was used to bring yellow into the top cluster.

I adore this title. I was inspired by one of Cara Vincens planner titles and enjoyed using the inspiration. The wooden buttons are Hip Kit Exclusives and designed by the owner Kimberly Hutchinson.

The tag was a PL card from my July 2016 Hip kit that I cut down and punched a hole for some twine. I love how the kits mix and match.

Here you can see the dimension that is created when using a foam square behind your photo. I love the shadow it makes and at the same time is allows me to add the "Love this" chipboard circle behind my photo and the photo is still level.

Thank you for visiting my blog today...I hope you found something to inspire you to create.♥♥

Hallo there, here is the last of the three layouts I created for a mini kit for Scrapbook Studio. I wanted to show that you can create boy pages even though the collection looks very feminine. I used another of the gorgeous ombre patterned papers, a cut file and a photo of my grandsons Christian and Lukas.
